It looks like a shotgun with some sort of silencer on it. If that's what it is, I wasn't aware that such things existed.

Excellent movie, btw.

It's a nail gun used for slaughtering cows I believe.

that's not the gun he's talking about

Yeah, it's pretty fuck awesome.

TVC15 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 28, 2008, 10:13:35 PM »

I'm not sure I could have been happier with the movie. So many great scenes.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #6 on:** March 28, 2008, 10:17:42 PM »

I thought it was an air compression thingie

So you liked the movie eh? Review plz

TVC15 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2008, 10:18:39 PM »

No, not the cattle gun, the shotgun he uses.

Hm I had assumed he just connected a barrel to the cattle gun

Either way I don't remember the last movie that made me feel scared/apprehensive whenever a certain character showed up on screen with a weapon. The women in the audience were crying over the violence SMH

"bob can we leave? i want to go homeee"

"why is he killing people?"

"is tommy lee jones going to kill that man"

$:-\$

I loved that gun. Its power and intense silence are so conflicting. Not being entirely realistic with it was a wise decision.

Mupepe · « **Reply #11 on:** March 28, 2008, 10:28:43 PM »

i loved that fucking movie. I've watched it so many times now.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2008, 10:30:26 PM »

I'm so glad I pretty much stopped buying DVDs. I never watch movies again.

No commentary track on the BD is pretty

Actually special features were kind of thin all around, meaning that we will likely see a special edition and I will double dip like a cigarillo.

What struck me was that despite apparently being a pretty close adaptation of the novel, it could have easily been originally written by the Coens and I would have believed it.

BlackMage · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2008, 11:03:47 PM »

my favorite sound in the whole world is the sound of a shotgun being cocked.

drohne · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2008, 11:04:42 PM »

really? even without having read the novel, it struck me as being extremely cormac mccarthy. chigurh and tommy lee jones's last speeches are very like parts of blood meridian

Well, maybe the lack of humor would prevent me from immediately identifying it as a Coen brothers movie, but the weird period piece, crime gone wrong, an extremely well done quirky character, a tendency towards the arbitrary happening. I dunno, I think the material is very Coen-y. I can at least see why they were attracted to the book, or why the book was suggested to them.

drohne · « **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2008, 11:19:33 PM »

yeah, i guess i can see that angle too. i need to pick up the bd and watch it again

Mandark · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2008, 11:30:14 PM »

Big chunks of it reminded me a lot of Fargo, and I think it would have even if I didn't know who was directing.

You've got a laid back officer of the law, some big empty landscapes, and a bunch of scenes with minor characters who are oblivious to the main, violent plot of the movie.

The big difference is that Buscemi and the big guy are as much objects of ridicule as any other character, while Chigurh is deadly efficient. All his scenes get a much more serious tone, and you fear for the hotel clerk, gas station owner, sporting goods store cashier, etc. in a way you don't for the two prostitutes in Fargo.

TVC, I demand you watch There Will Be Blood now

TVC15 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 28, 2008, 11:35:58 PM »

I think you can even draw some sort of parallel between Peter Stormare's character in Fargo and Anton Chigurh, even if it's just that they are drawn of a similar archetype.

I will watch TWBB when it is in HD.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #21 on:** March 28, 2008, 11:48:21 PM »

I'd most likely hate NCFOM but I"ll check it out in 1080P just to see the villain. He reminds me of the Saint of Killers in Preacher. Hopefully, NCFOM won't suck as much as Fargo.

The Coens don't do commentaries

EvilBoris · « **Reply #24 on:** March 29, 2008, 02:29:13 AM »

I wouldn't do commentaries either.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #25 on:** March 29, 2008, 02:34:58 AM »

Me, either. I think way too much about the filmmaking process is revealed via DVD special features and commentaries nowadays, and it's irrevocably removed much of the ephemeral magic of just watching a movie without the calculating and studying eye of a film school student.

TVC15 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 29, 2008, 02:52:06 AM »

I check out the commentaries on old movies more often than on new flicks, but when it's something this good, I like to watch it with whatever commentaries are available.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #27 on:** March 29, 2008, 03:18:23 AM »

I freely admit my hypocrisy here, as I've listened to any number of commentaries

Mupepe · « **Reply #28 on:** March 29, 2008, 08:32:16 AM »

I've seen the Resident Evil commentary. Offhand, I think that's about it

TVC15 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 29, 2008, 03:34:20 PM »

I have to like the movie to check out the commentary track. The movie must also have good subtitles so I can still easily follow along. None of that obnoxious giant yellow text shit.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #30 on:** March 29, 2008, 05:22:38 PM »

I'm a dumbass: I've never watched a commentary. Cheebs begged me to watch the LOTR:FOTR one, and I did for like a minute...then I turned it off and watched the movie without it. I like documentaries on how the movies are made, but my attention span makes commentaries hard to watch :'(

Bloodwake · « **Reply #31 on:** March 29, 2008, 05:49:32 PM »

I don't watch with commentaries that often, but sometimes I do, especially when:

-they've been recommended to me.
-I've heard they are pretty entertaining.

I think the last commentary I watched was the commentary with Richard Kelly and Kevin Smith for Donnie Darko: the Director's cut. Seriously, hearing Kelly actually give us some explanation was worth it, plus Smith is hilarious as usual.

You didn't think there was anything funny about the scene with the gas station clerk? I dunno if it was supposed to be played for laughs, but I tended to find it funny that Chigurh is trying to threaten this guy in a very slick way, but he seems a little to dense to even figure out he's being threatened.

huh? I thought it was pretty clear that the clerk was /very/ aware that his life was on the line during that coin toss.

border · « **Reply #34 on:** March 29, 2008, 10:14:15 PM »

I think he eventually gets it at the end yeah, but I felt like most of it was the same sort of "yokel humor" that's in Fargo.

If you ever get like a free day or something and just want to know a bit more about the series, you really should try out the LOTR commentaries. The ones on the Extended Edition 4 disc packs are fuckawesome–they have commentaries from Jackson and his wife, the whole cast, some of the select members of the crew, and an entire commentary dedicated to the special effects team...the name of the company is lost with me at the moment, but I'm sure you know what I mean. They're all really awesome.
